Bob Gainey proving a valuable resource for Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk

Bob Gainey, who was hired last summer as the Stars’ Senior Advisor to Hockey Operations, attended the two games on the road trip and had several chats with GM Joe Nieuwendyk.

“He’s great to bounce ideas off of,” said Nieuwendyk. “We had a lot of talks just in the last couple of days, and they were great exchanges. He’s been working all season, so he knows all of our players, and he has great insight.”

Briefly: Derek Roy (groin) skated in Frisco on Tuesday, but still could be doubtful for a Friday return against Phoenix…Forward Reilly Smith was returned to the lineup and Tomas Vincour was made a healthy scratch against Detroit…Forward Colton Sceviour was returned to the Texas Stars (AHL). The Stars have one extra forward, and the Texas Stars need help right now, GM Joe Nieuwendyk said…Defenseman Aaron Rome (flu) joined the team, but did not play.
